  • Synergizing with armor mods or exotic perks

Popular Choices

  • Range: Often preferred for PvP on hand cannons and shotguns
  • Stability: Valued on automatic weapons
  • Reload Speed: Universal quality-of-life improvement
  • Handling: Important for weapon-swap builds

Limitations

  • Cannot choose specific stat - reroll is random
  • No guarantee of getting desired stat
  • Material cost can be significant for multiple attempts
  • Cannot preview result before committing resources
  • Only available on Legendary weapons (not Exotics)

Historical Context

  • Introduced with the Masterwork system in Curse of Osiris
  • Originally cost different materials
  • System simplified over various updates
  • Stat bonus values adjusted in various balance patches

Tips

  • Consider the weapon's base stats before rerolling
  • Some weapons benefit more from certain stats
  • Factor in your playstyle and build
  • Set a limit on reroll attempts to conserve resources
  • Remember that masterwork bonus is additive to base stats
